Had not seen too much news about the 2021-22 FPHL season since the end of the Ignite Cup Finals until recently. As of right now, it is looking like the league will begin the season with 8 teams, 5 in the Eastern Division (Binghamton, Danbury, Delaware, Elmira, and Watertown) and 3 in the Western Division (Carolina, Columbus, and Port Huron). That is the plan right now, although Elmira, arguably one of the most stable teams in league history, may not play due to issues with the First Arena.

It is also looking like the Fed will play at least 2 neutral site games in Biloxi, MS, although it has not been confirmed. If it is the Fed, my personal guess would be Columbus against Carolina, as they can spare the extra travel, and are the two closest teams geographically. Press conference to be held July 14.
Another big milestone for the Fed is Thunderbirds' coach Andre Niec has made the jump straight from the Fed to the NHL and will be a European scout for the Florida Panthers. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe he is the first Fed alum to make it to the show.
